There was only a week and a half between the end of camp and the start of school this year, so we tried to make sure we crammed in some family fun! After lunch and milkshakes at Norm's News, we journeyed to Glacier. We drove up Logan's Pass and hiked to the Hidden Lake overlook. SO FUN! We even hiked on top of lots of snow!!! The kids had to reach down and feel the frigid water pouring down the mountain. We live in such a beautiful place! Ian slept most of the hike but woke up a few times to tough out the wind :)!

After our fun busy-ness of camp, we had a big "Way to go Ortlings!" party at the Lighthouse Christian Home. They each invited a few friends to enjoy the fun package of goodies we won at the Camp and Lighthouse silent auctions. We were able to use Lighthouses' amazing yard and kitchen, enjoy the visiting carriage horses, bounce til we couldn't bounce anymore (I didn't even get a picture of Jacob who spent most of his day in the big kid bounce castle which kept falling in on itself - which actually made it quite fun :), hang out and play bean bag toss with the Lighthouse residents, and fill ourselves up with yummy summertime food!

With scary faces & colorful attire, "Pinky" and his minnians (sp?) prepare to chase campers in a thrill inducing game! Keith and Jacob are now too big to be allowed to "catch" campers (they use to be allowed to tap a camper with a pool noodle but are now as fast or faster than most campers). You'll just have to come to camp and see just how fun this game can be :)!
